I have a laptop with a Ryzen 4700u and gentoo with KDE compiles in a virtual machine in like 2 hours iirc

My IBM took 1h30m to compile vim.... (:

Is there a particular reason why you prefer Gentoo over other distros? Can't you run a conventional distro that doesn't need to compile? Just curious, no judgement. I know that Marcan, the dude who reverse engineered the apple M1, runs Gentoo. Always been curious as to why some folks prefer it

I dont use gentoo, I was just messing around with it out of curiosity
